Leather

by Tori Amos.

We share the same name. Could that be the reason I love some of her songs so much?

This song is one of my favorites. Here it's performed live in 1997, five years after it was released in Amos's debut solo album "Little Earthquakes". If you prefer the original version, or if you never heard it before, go and listen to it here. Below the videos you can find the lyrics.

As a bonus - "Crucify", probably Amos's most popular song, also from the debut album "Little Earthquakes" (and BTW - that album has more great songs. You should listen to it all). If you like this song too, you should also check out this version.

Look I'm standing naked before you,Don't you want more than my sex?I can scream as loud as your last oneBut I can't claim innocence

Oh God could it be the weatherOh God why am I here?If love isn't foreverAnd its not the weatherHand me my leather

I could just pretend that you love me,The night would lose all sense of fearBut why do I need you to love meWhen you cant hold what I hold dear?

Oh God could it be the weather,Oh God why am I here?If love isn't foreverAnd its not the weatherHand me my leather

I almost ran over an angel,He had a nice big fat cigarin a sense he said you're alone hereSo if you jump you best jump far

Oh God could it be the weatherOh God why am I here?If love isn't foreverAnd its not the weather

Oh God could it be the weatherOh God it's all very clearIf love isn't foreverAnd its not the weatherHand me my leather
